What label is that? I had the helmet label but nothing about gasoline

 

I just peeled mine off the day I picked up my bike. But, it was about 90* that day. I would use a little heat to get it off, and then wipe it with a cleaner, I used Orange Glo.

 

use a blow dryer to take off any label, if you don't have one, you can get one at any second hand store for 50 cents

 

Warm up just about any sticker with a hair drier or a heat gun and it will come up more easily. If you have to, use an old credit card, or one of those cards you get weekly in the mail as a scraper. It won't damage the paint like your finger nail can do. A little WD40 will remove the glue, and a little Windex will remove the WD 40. While you are at it, get the hokey one of the rear fender, and right side swingarm too.

I used a hair dryer to heat the decal and it peeled right off. A litte bit of goo gone will remove any sticky residual. Works for the Yamaha sticker on the rear fender.

 

I have found that you can use the 20oz coke bottle tops. The little plastic white caps work well to squeegy it off a bit at a time without scratching the tank. Heat surely would not hurt either.

 

Heat is the best option w/WD-40!

 

WD-40 worked for me. Just give it time to work (not a spray-n-wipe). I laid a small piece of paper towel over the offending sticker and soaked it with the WD-40 and let it sit. (the soaked paper towel keeps the sticker wet)
After 15-20 min. the sticker practically wiped off with the paper towel.

 

Ahhh...now I need to buy a new warrior just so I can try this method!!! /emoticons/emotion-5.gif

 

OK, thanks y'all. I know it mighta sounded like a dumb question up front, but I figured some of you tried chemicals that loosened the label better than others. Great website!!

 

I am not real fond of the soaking method. 99% of paints are resistant to WD40 and other oils, but I would not want to find the paint job that wasn't resistant. Once upon a time, I dropped ONE drop of brake fluid on a front fender, and by the time I picked up a rag to wipe it off, the fluid dissolved a hole into the paint[/emoticons/emotion-6.gif] Not good! Heat will work best, and as long as you can put your hand in front of the heat source, it won't be too hot for the paint. Then you can clean up the adhesive with WD40, and remove the WD40 with glass cleaner.

Use a hair dryer or portable heat lamp, to heat the sticker and loosten the glue. WD 40 works excellent to remove any glue residue also. (however you spell it) Use this on the rear fender and swing arm sticker also.

 

Mine was a total PITA to get off. First I used the hair dryer. Then the clear plastic top sheet peeled off. Then I new I was hosed. Used WD-40 and let it sit for 5 minutes or so. Still not much luck. I ended up using a credit card to carefully remove the remaining sticker which was not easy. Then I had the sticky glue left. More WD-40 which did no seem to help too much. I finally resorted to paint thiner which seemed to help some what and eventually I got it all off. Why yamaha feels the need to make it so difficult to remove this sticker is beyound me.
